Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust has recently completed a procurement process for the maintenance of 3D mammography systems at Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI) and Leicester General Hospital (LGH). This contract, awarded directly to Hologic LTD, a large Manchester-based supplier, covers services in the medical equipment maintenance industry. The procurement, initiated as a direct award due to Hologic being the sole provider capable of servicing the existing equipment, involved the renewal of maintenance contracts—spanning two years for LRI and six years for LGH—with the contracts totaling approximately £210,729.60. The maintenance service period is scheduled from 9 April 2026 to 15 April 2028.

This maintenance contract presents notable opportunities for businesses involved in advanced medical equipment and service provision, particularly those specialising in medical imaging technology. Companies like Hologic, with the ability to provide niche and specialised maintenance services for complex systems such as the FDA-approved 3D mammography tools, are well-positioned to benefit. Businesses capable of offering innovative and reliable maintenance solutions or similar technical capabilities could find advantageous partnerships with public health institutions like University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.

Notice Title

3D Mammography System Maintenance at LRI and LGH

Notice Description

The waiver is to support two separate maintenance purchases a 2-year renewal for equipment at LGH, and a 5-year agreement at the GGH as equipment comes out of warranty Therefore a maintenance contract (2 years) for a 3d mammography system at LRI (PS45,612) and a maintenance contract (6 years) for a 3d mammography system at GGH (PS129.996) A 3D mammography system is an FDA-approved, modern breast imaging tool that offers a more detailed and accurate view than traditional 2D mammograms. It is increasingly used for both routine breast cancer screening and the diagnosis of breast symptoms, especially helpful for people with dense breast tissue The system reduces the number of patients called back for extra imaging because the exam improves accuracy and detects slightly more cancers than standard 2D mammography. Leicester General Hospital (LGH); This is for a renewal of a maintenance contract for a 3d mammography system with Hologic (OEM
